Most projects label their low-hanging-fruit issues with "good first issue". Start there and filter down as required. https://github.com/search?q=label%3A%22good+first+issue%22&t...

Thanks, I'll take a look. I was hoping to try my luck at open source. A few years ago I attempted trying to contribute, since a lot software really fascinated me. However, I always got intimidated by the code bases. Hopefully now I'm more prepared since I've worked with larger codebases.
